Clarke and Embree Clash Over The Tragic Era
Thomas H. R. Clarke criticizes Claude Bowers’s The Tragic Era as a biased but well written defense of a lost cause and praises John R. Lynch and Wendell Phillips. Edwin Embree replies that Brown America deserves a hearing and aims to present all sides while ridiculing prejudices in race relations. Clarke's letter and Embree’s response cite figures like Blaine Chandler Roosevelt Lodge Lynch Hill and Phillips in a debate on Reconstruction era portrayal.
